Here, the easiest method to find the answer is by using ratio and proportion method
Therfore....
Distance [I] = 60 km
Time [I] = 30 minutes
Distance [II] = 20 km
Time [II] = I not known
Let Time [II] be x
According to the law of proportion..
Product of Extremes = Product of Means
30x = 60 * 20
x = 60 * 20 / 30
x = 1200 / 30
x = 40
Therfore, the car covers 40 km in 20 minutes.
:-) If it's clear, mark me as brainliest.
